How does a player move his checkers?
Of all the frequently asked questions about backgammon, this one is probably the most stressed. The checkers can only go forward, this means strictly no side ward or backward movements. The total number of the two rolled dice is the number of places a player can move his piece. A player has two options in moving strategically. He could opt to maneuver a piece with the total number or move two pieces separately using the individual numbers indicated on the dice. For example, if a player rolls a 4 and a 6, he can bring a checker forward by 10 places, or set a checker forward by 4 places and another with 6.
